My favorites are the '04s and '05s, but for example one of mine (the '04 Arc) has 222,000 miles on it and can do most anything as well as any of the lower mileage ones (except that the AC is out for the moment).
Don't forget, very difficult to do a periodic replacement of the fuel filter on an '06 or newer 9-5. My '06 now has 147,000 miles on the original filter - I just have to hope it can hold on until the fuel pump craps out.
Unless you have potentially fatal issues with your existing 9-5s, how much do you accomplish getting rid of them?
The last 2 I picked up had 87,000 miles and 52,000 miles on them. I think unless you feel fine about driving them until 300,000 or whatever, maybe buying one with 128,000 miles already is kinda high mileage for your needs.
My approach is not necessarily for others, but I'm running four 9-5s and eventually one, then another will sustain some kind of issue I just can't get around. Until then, they keep rolling - all of them.
